Editor Sees Star Before Paper Go By an Insane Managing'Editor Have you ever sat around and watched poor editors mourn for copy as they furiously search their memi ories and imaginations fur just one little inspiration? have you ever strolled over to the Gamecock office about eleven o'clock on a Wednesday night and watched the staff bang on their typewriters at a breakneck speed knowing, that the paper must be complete at twelve? And then you nonchalantly pick up the paper at the canteen Friday morn ing and casually glance over it. Fairly good, I guess-that's what you say, never knowing that in that paper is invested the staff's nerve reserve accumulated over a period of two " weeks. Into that paper has gone sheer devotion, honest labor, and a pcck ful of worry. You should appreciate it, but do you demonstrate such grati tude? The day after the Gamecock. publication, the capteen floor is lit tered with papers, some worn, somie 11ot. Assignments? Ridicukus! They're posted every two weeks on the Friday before the paper is duc to come out. We have a staff of exactly ao efficient reporters. Just last week assignments were posted for 15 and 2 stories were handed in. And really, after all my weeks *of disilltisioned optimism, I was surprised that two stories should so carefully lie slipped under the Gamecock door. Tonight. we're making up the paper. We have a lovely office down here in the basement of Maxcy, and we've been keeping it fairly cleau this sc. mester too. The environmeg is per fect and honest, we think uir comn pany is desirable. But here we sit all alone, just the four of us! Our hon orable editor is pounding away on his 1902 Underwood, composing a story for page seven that some numbskull didn't hand in. I say, our honorable editor ! Ile's dignified. Just writes edi * torials, and he's crawling on his knees when he has to write a story for page seven. We do think lie's cooperatike, though, and sometimes we think an humble person is admirable. And then there's the sports editor! I;c's really over here gloating in his liberty uniform that lie's already lin ished his page, but theni he had a head start on the rest Qf us because the ad dummy was only three hours late in being drawn up. That's our efficient business managers' respon sibility, and evc though lie's j ust a trifle dilatory, we forgive him. Why lie amazes ts by getting the ad dummy here at all! She's a thief I She wants some of our copy l Copy that we've so care fully compiled to present to you on page seven! Guess she's having diif ficulties too? 'They sa,y thieres a paper shortage. We maintain that the stuff that goes oni paper js even miore escarce. Incidentally, the swiper is the co-ed edhitor. She's coivinucetd that the story on IlIypatian is society imews. but I don't think so because it's the 11ly patian Literary Society. And otur staff of twenty reporters extremely busy I She's over there writing heads for pages 2, 3. .1, 5, 6.

The composer, conductor and pia nist Leonard Bernstein, for example, is only 26: "Time" magazine calls him "the brightest young ma..n in the U. S. musical world"-and for cause. Last winter lie conducted the New York Philharmonic Symphony in the world premiere of his "Jeremiah Synphony"-which the New York Music Critic's Circle promptly voted "the most outstanding orchestral work by an American composer" introduced during the season. Next came his smash hit ballet, "Fancy Free," which as danced by the Ballet Theatre from coast to coast all winter has been widely acclaimed as the best ballet by an American. And now his new mu sical comedy, "On the Town," which opened on Broadway just after Chri:;tmas, is one of the season's big gest sensations, and has already been sold to Hollywood. You'll be hearing some of his recordings shortly. Then there's the young New York City Syniphony, whose personnel was picked and trained by the great Leo pold Stokowski in the course of hun dlreds of auditions last winter.
